MONDAY - JULY 7, 2014 - Chest and Back
As I did last time, I went at my own pace, and finished a full 4 moves ahead of those on the video. I used that time to put away my equipment and lay on my back on the floor, recovering. I did 286 pushups, which was only 2 less than I did last time, and that was my all-time high for this workout. I'll admit I didn't go too deep on some of them during the second half. I got in 28 pullups, which is not great, but I felt good on them. I also used 45 lbs on all the weighted back exercises. Last time I only used 35s, and felt that was too little weight. All around, this was a good workout. I'm totally exhausted.

TUESDAY - JULY 8, 2014 - Plyometrics
I've been drink entirely too much Diet Pepsi/Coke the last few months. I noticed last night it was really starting to affect my sleep, as I think I only got 4 or 5 hours in, which isn't enough for me. I had another one today at Subway during lunch. By the time it was workout time I was really lightheaded due to fatigue. I didn't know how I was going to get through a Plyo workout. I considered doing Cardio X or Kenpo X instead, as they're a bit less intense. I even briefly considered taking the day off, something I've never done in 6 years if I've had a workout scheduled (except for extreme illness). Ultimately I got Plyo in. It went Ok. Not my best effort, but not my worst either. In the long run, this may be beneficial if it gets me off the soda.
Time: 58 minutes; Calories Burned: 633; Avg Heart Rate: 126; Max Heart Rate: 150.
WEDNESDAY - JULY 9, 2014 - Shoulders and Arms
I wasn't feeling real strong going in, so I lightened my weight on a few of the early moves. Even so, they still felt heavy. Around the third set I was back to normal, but I still didn't feel like stretching myself and increasing my weights from last time. In the end, it was an OK workout.
Time: 60 minutes; Calories Burned: 598; Avg Heart Rate: 122; Max Heart Rate: 156.
THURSDAY - JULY 10, 2014 - Fountain of Youth (Yoga) (One on One with Tony Horton)
I didn't get too much sleep last night, and I played golf today, so I was extremely tired. I didn't really want to do 92 minutes of Yoga X, so I did this one instead. At 47 minutes, it was perfect.
Time: 47 minutes; Calories Burned: 287; Avg Heart Rate: 98; Max Heart Rate: 126.
FRIDAY - JULY 11, 2014 - Legs and Back
I did OK on this one, but my pullup numbers weren't good. I only got 54 in. I just couldn't keep my grip on the pullup bar.
Time: 59 minutes; Calories Burned: 577; Avg Heart Rate: 120; Max Heart Rate: 151.
SATURDAY - JULY 12, 2014 - Kenpo X
I kept putting this off until early evening. Just as I was getting ready to get started, I saw my favorite movie was on TV. I did the workout instead of watching the movie, but my mind was wandering all over the place. When I was doing the punching section near the beginning, I found myself looking at my bookcase and rearranging it in my mind instead of concentrating on the workout. Eventually I got a bit more focused and finished it up OK.
Time: 58 minutes; Calories Burned: 479; Avg Heart Rate: 110; Max Heart Rate: 134.
SUNDAY - JULY 13, 2014 - Ab Ripper X
Better than I've done lately on this workout, but I wasn't feeling like crap going into it, like I had the last few times I did it.
Time:20 minutes; Calories Burned: 145; Avg Heart Rate: 105; Max Heart Rate: 169.
SUNDAY WEIGH IN
Weight: 195.8 (+1.8 lbs)
Body Fat: 21.5% (+0.2%)
Not good, and a bit unexpected. I thought I ate pretty good for the week. Had some candy someone had brought into work, but I didn't this it was that much.
THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK
I thought the workouts went well. A strong week in that regard. I'm just really bummed at the weight increase. Really bummed.
